I have run on the track with both C5 and C6 Z06.......and it comes down to the driver every time. At Mid-Ohio this year Danny Popp jumped in a bone stock C5 Z06 with Hoosiers and made 3 laps around the track to best my TTS time by 3 seconds....... (he was in TTU but his personal car broke)
In a straight line, a win over either is not super hard even on a stock turbo, until you hit triple digits and you can watch the C6 drive away.

He dynoed at 487whp and you got him from a 40mph roll with you at only 467 whp on C16 ......um he miust have been a lame *** driver then. Sorry maybe from a dig up to 100mph or so but from a roll doesn't sound right. What time are you running in the Qtr mile.
You weight more and lack arerodynamics.
Like I said must of been a bad driver.

Well I have a friend with C6 Z06 and we did some testing and it's very interesting. He hardly hit 175 MPH. We took it on a private course and we had a good 4 mile straight to try it. My Evo with the stock turbo is putting 380 WHP. We both hit it from 40 MPH to top end and he edge me out by 1 car after 155 MPH. Up to 155 MPH i owned him every time. C6 Z06 is a nice car, but you have to see if it's practical enough for you. IF you have the money then get it. I will only drive Evos for the rest of my life.

My friend still holds the MPH record for a stock block at 131mph Emery .. look it up on the list.
Like Eric said at AMS you can 't compare shop cars to a DD. Even if the DD makes big power. ...things break and people don't want to keep pouring $$ into a car week after week so you run them a little conservitive on the street. If a shop car breaks it's no big deal they just fix it. Beleive me I've spent many many hours on the phone with AMS and still talk to them a lot also have had a few good talks with Buschur and a few others...they all think the same. Reliable and safe!!
Even with my build we run about 2-3 psi under max on the street. It's safe...no KA-BOOM if ya know what I mean.

but I have seen the other side of 183mph and still had some more left....intake and tune then...so it wan't 100% stock.My friend is putting down more HP than you and he can only stay with me from a 40 mph roll through 2nd cause I spin in 1st ( bald tires LOL ) and he gets the lead but then I reel him in by the middle of 3rd.....so I don't know about your friends car. Does he have TC off? if not tell him to take it off it retards timing. Car is slower.

A guy with a lot more mods (headwork, cam, full exhaust, weight reduction, tune) and a 175hp shot went 9.94 @ 139.85. So thats a slower ET with less MPH and way more mods then what your buddy has who supposedly ran a quicker/faster time... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...11&postcount=8

Yeh thats White Devil! That is the car you are talking about....he has the fastest C6Z06 time on Corvettefourm "fast list' that was just started BTW. I don't think Carlos has posted his slip yet and he might not as they have pi**ed a lot of guys off because they have make it very difficult to post your times, you have to do all this other horseshi** . A lot of guys aren't very happy about it either.
Good Catch though
